which brightened. a song from plans to. start on t.v. dot com. tonight on r t turkey gives the green light to military operations beyond the country's borders after wednesday's deadly shelling from syrian territory. also as the west rushes to blame president the sad for the cross border violence moscow calls for a strength on both sides but highlights the lack of global condemnation from the turners and killed dozens in aleppo. and after the rub says protesters stormed the greek defense ministry later showed despair in the struggling country.

eight pm thursday night here in moscow welcome if you just joined us mimes kevin i mean this is r t live for the top stories and first turkey's parliament or throws the military to engage in cross border armed operations following the shelling of a town from syrian territory on wednesday meantime tension on the border is worsening too with turkey renewing its for a tell a tree shelling of its war torn neighbor for a second day artie's middle east correspondent as the latest. as expected the turkish parliament has voted overwhelmingly in favor of the wising military operations in syria what this does mean is that it now has given the green light for cross border operations the deputy turkish prime minister has gone on record saying this is not a declaration of war but it certainly is sending out very warning messages now while this meeting of the parliament was being held in the capital city of vancouver outside antiwar protesters were chanting slogans such as a no to war the syrians all our brothers used tear gas to disperse this crowd of

antiwar demonstrators but certainly it's another sign of just how fluid and how intense the situation is at the moment turkey continue to fire artillery at syrian targets into the early hours of thursday morning the exact extent of the turkish operation is still unclear but according to several sources there were several syrian soldiers who were killed in these military strikes the turks also called for an emergency meeting of of nato and that was held on wednesday night in brussels and also urging for the united nations to take action and necessary steps to stop what they are quoting syrian aggression so certainly the turks again very quick to go on the offensive the syrian side they are urging restraint they have formally given condolences to the families and friends of those who were killed and at the same time that they have said they are launching an investigation it's still not clear who exactly fired this mortar into turkish territory it did land in

a residential building killing five members of one family and injuring another thirteen people. fall asleep all while turkey approve cross border military operations moscow's calling for calm or both sides are doing gauge and dialogue more of the russian foreign ministries reaction. the international community hasn't been quick to condemn the actions of syria but sergey lavrov calling on a more reasonable diplomatic and restraint a reserved approach if you will he says that both sides it's important for them to engage in dialogue specifically in the for the light of the recent events where turkey has approved military involvement to go across the border now he also says that if a syria is to blame for this incident on wednesday then they should make a public statement saying that as much now damascus has in turn stopped short of claiming responsibility but has said that this was

a tragic mistake and is assured that they will work hard to try and prevent mistakes of like this from happening in the future now this also comes out during a week of a much more violence in syria specifically in aleppo a town at near the border which saw four blasts and thirty people dead in relation to this usually the west is quick to condemn. terrorist actions like this but when it comes to syria they seem to turn a blind eye this is what sergei lavrov had to say about that. we cannot ignore other aspects of the syrian tragedy yesterday a series of terrorist attacks killed dozens of people but for several months our partners at the un refused to condemn terror attacks on syrian territory the u.n. security council always stresses that there is no excuse for terrorism and the fact of their western colleagues refrain from that position now regarding what terrorists do in syria is a very worrying signal. now is specially in light of recent events with of the

turkish parliament agreeing that they're allowed to use military across the border into syria two important focal points number one the international community has to acknowledge that there is terrorist activity in syria and number two syria and turkey need to open their lines of communication and discuss things so things don't get out of hand. you know across it. eric draitser he's a geo political analyst for stop imperialism. eric good evening what do you make of turkey's decision today is it just a warning to syria or do you think more the first step towards fully fledged military involvement what are your thoughts well it certainly is a formal declaration that they're prepared for war but whether or not this is actually a step towards a war i think that this is much more unlikely turkey has to realize the historical folly that would be on their side if they were to engage in a war with syria that would undoubtedly rile up their own kurdish population and

could possibly lead to the destruction of turkey itself so while the situation does seem quite critical and certainly is dangerous i think it's hard to believe that that turkey would be so foolish as to engage in launching a war against syria let's focus on the possible ramifications on the border i wonder what it means this vote because there are there are many syrian rebels based there do you think they may i will boldly know fully protected if you like from syrian troops. i think that's precisely the the meaning that we could read into this because the donna base which was reported by reuters which is right around the ensure lake nato base inside of turkey this is one of the centers of the jobbies which are infiltrating into syria and now if we have this revelation that turkey is at least formally preparing for war it's entirely likely that they'll use that as the pretext for unleashing a new round and new wave of infiltrations into syria turkey has taken this

opportunity to try to assert some form of regional hegemon e as opposed to the policy that they had for many decades which was a zero problems policy that is to say to have friendly relations with all of their neighbors so more than syria i think that these developments reflect on turkey and the mentality that exists inside of the country and i would i would also stress too that in turkey we're seeing antiwar demonstrations it's quite clear that the people of turkey are not in favor of this so we really are pointing the finger at air to one told you in the ruling party in iraq as to the close a bit. the source of this latest flare up most countries rushed to blame assad's forces for a shell of its wednesday calling it an act of aggression do you think there is a chance that it was just a very tragic incident. well i think that given the fact that there is no real intelligence to the contrary we have to accept the syrian government at

its word that they are taking responsibility in the sense of this was something that came from the syrian military but that it's quite likely that it was an accident the i would remind people also that the syrian government has issued a formal apology to turkey for the incident this is something that israel for example did not do in two thousand and ten when they killed ten turkish citizens on the gaza flotilla they refused to apologize to turkey whereas syria has already within forty eight hours issued a formal apology so that should demonstrate a very stark difference between those countries that the west supports and those countries that the west wants to instigate regime change folks have bucket on turkey for a final full. support for the syrian rebels begs the question why it's no secret is it that is in the midst of a driving force in the end. which is secular need an islamist regime is border.

well no i think that again this is this is what i mentioned earlier with regard to the tragic historical folly that that turkey is in gauging in for turkey to be part i would say be an integral part of the formula to instigate regime change means that turkey would then create as you mentioned an unstable force over the border likely some form of al qaeda or other terrorist or islamic extremist led government so this would destabilize the region rather than allow turkey to become a hedge amman which is what the arab the one government is seeking pretty good reason to greg says things from a cheap political analyst from a stop imperialism dot com. thank you so much and he will come. give us some thoughts as well he told us that if turkey decides to increase its military options it could endanger peace back home. prime minister erda one may think he's very clever in lobbying artillery shells over the border into syria but

what he may actually be doing is shooting himself in the foot taking military action opens the pandora's box. kurdish demands for a separate state. and the kurds say to themselves or a certain kurdish party say to themselves yes the turkish government can act in syria to change the boundaries and the borders in the middle east we can demand the changing of the borders and syria has a clue including a kurdish state so this is the kind of blowback that mr adeline gets when he and sell in illegal military action across international borders but with a course of day to another situation in syria turkey is developing will bring in more opinion and analysis in the coming hours to my view and i take. this now only a month left before the us alexis new president barack obama or mitt romney have

just made it through their first presidential debate do all but the latest c.n.n. poll shows the incumbents taking a beating if he's going to teach you can follow the debate last night. mr romney did seem more alert he actually did better than many thought he would considering all his gaffes and misfires in this election campaign he of course took advantage of the fact that the recovery under president obama has been slow the country is running a huge deficit gigantic debt more than sixteen trillion dollars that's one hundred four percent of the nation's g.d.p. the president's main argument was that mr romney wants to go back to the same policies that landed the u.s. and the world for that matter in the economic mess four years ago that everybody's still struggling to recover from so there was a lot of back and forth about who's going to be paying for what and how they both gave different numbers citing different studies at some point it got kind of confusing in general it looked as if one of them was saying he wants to raise taxes and the other one goes no he wants to raise taxes or we need regulation and the other one would say are you agree so in the context of this debate they agreed on

a lot of things but the devil is of course in the details but as they tried to get into details and numbers it's got even more confusing we still have two more debates in the coming weeks we'll hear more about the candidates foreign policy vision for now in most states president obama is leading in polls although by a very small margin there are going pretty much six to neck but it's important to mention that in the us a candidate might win the majority of the popular vote and still lose the election because it's not the popular vote is the so-called electoral college that decides the outcome of the presidential election here every state gives the candidate the certain number of points and the winner has to collect the number two hundred seventy points even if a candidate loses a state by just say three votes they get zero points that way it's a very peculiar electoral system which is not really about the will of the majority so not only are the americans stuck with just two choices because it's

a tourist or a system but they're also not guaranteed to get the president that the majority of american voters cast their votes for one more thing almost. half of americans identify themselves as independents that's according to a gallup poll forty percent the fact of the matter is there are other candidates in this presidential election but they've been pushed out of these major debate so very few know anything about them they're not even on ballots in all states because different states have different requirements essentially designed to keep it a two horse race. but as well as is going to face his young challenger during a presidential vote this sunday we explore the national media how to job is doing the rounds that's coming up later this hour plus. new hope for russia's military aviation as them veils the new four seven six transport plane more on that's another story so after a short break here. tucked

specialisation now with the so-called arab spring mini theater here in latin america or we will be seeing a latin american spring with different characteristics but where the united states will meddle in the internal affairs of countries like venezuela and they will even trigger and activate a generalized latin american spring which will be turmoil social unrest and even civil war. it's thought egypt's president may have stepped in to resolve a row about two boys bad behavior online reporting tonight the story of the illiterate coptic christian kids who didn't know partly the book they were defining was the qur'an it's an interesting read someone from us plus america's deadly drones have a new destination inside now watch out libya could be heading your way soon r.t. dot com is the place for details on how to.

. because we're friends to latest a business update for you dmitri see and now we've got it done so there are the. new hope for russia's military aviation more sort of a we're talking about a new plane called illusion for seven six it's mostly a new version of the classic seventy six which has been around since one thousand nine hundred sixty seven now the ministry of defense has already ordered thirty nine of these waters are expected to come to this kind of explains. we're right inside the idea of star aircraft factory in the square the brand new we use in seventy six and ninety are constructed in fact one of them is being assembled as we speak so the two main things we should need to be said about the search raft is first of all it's being built on a base of a very well known use and seventy six aircraft which has been used for decades and

is still widely used by the military and civil aviation in eastern europe asia and african nations in fact he's planes are still used to deliver supplies to the alliance forces in afghanistan so it's already a very tested and reliable machine three quarters of the new aircraft. we designed including the engines the wings avionics the radio navigation equipment which make it go faster further and carry more weight traditionally these planes are several times a less expensive than their western. all right let's move over to the markets in the united states the markets are feeling quite positive although moderately around half a percent that's on the back of the latest jobs report which showed three hundred sixty seven thousand americans applied for unemployment benefits for the first time in september which was better than expected over in europe the e.c.b.

is kept to it's a benchmark rate unchanged that point seven five percent and that's because the mixed feeling on the market now in russia this is the closing picture of the first day of losses as oil prices remain below ninety dollars per barrel and on the currencies market was seeing the euro gaining massively against the dollar around one percent and that's on the back of mario druggies the words of reassuring that the euro is irreversible that's what i have for you this place for much for that much appreciated between up next as the u.s. presidential debate occupies hearts and minds across the atlantic laura lister washington talks to a man whose job is to forecast what's next is a couple of minutes time.

good afternoon welcome to capital account i'm lauren lyster here in washington d.c. the zeer headlines for wednesday october third two thousand and twelve brought obama and mitt romney laced up for their first two thousand and twelve u.s. presidential debate do they represent two heads of the same monster even economically speaking gerald celente is here with his autumn trends forecast plus reuters reports lockheed martin and the pentagon are in talks at the senior level over the fifth order of the f. thirty five this is of course the behind schedule over budget by billions pool eg with safety issues f. thirty five that you never imagined was supposed to be the future of the pentagon air arsenal we'll look at the cost of inefficient government spending to the economy's health and four years ago today george w. bush signed tarp let's take a look back at what lawmakers were told would happen without it according to this account. the market would drop two or three thousand points the first day another

couple thousand the second day and if you members were even told that there would be martial law in america if we voted no. all right it may be history now but does someone on a reported treasury secretary short list or more than one person make a bank bailout two point zero is sound all too plausible we'll discuss let's get to today's capital account. capital account is an economic show rarely ever do we delve into the space of politics or foreign policy despite being situated in the nerve center of pax americana we find the independence granted to us through such detachment to be

worth more than the benefits of opining on matters of state we'll leave that to the fox news is of the world but tonight as you know two candidates are vying for the presidency in two thousand and twelve and they take this stage and what has become an annual circus of sorts for political pundits and a source perhaps of indigestion for some of the rest of us and today we also have a guest whose job it is to forecast trends not just economic but political geo political social and cultural so it's a good opportunity therefore to break our silence on matters of state and to offer an opinion or two for whatever they're worth now it appears to us somewhere somehow america wildly off track after a great depression that lasted on and off for more than a decade americans were plunged into a world war that saw a roughly sixty million dead from a global population of just over two billion.
